Know The Person You're Sleeping With
VALENTINE'S DAY PART 2"Hey Mina." The man said with a nervous tone in his voice.
"I had no idea you liked me in this way Andrew." Mina said taking off her handbag and placing it on the table as she sat down opposite Andrew.
"Well I did try to send signals to you but you never seemed to noticed. So I decided being Valentine's Day I would take a major leap and show you how I feel, in a special way." Andrew said picking up the rose and handing it to Mina. She blushed immediately.
"Thank you Andrew, you sure know how to make a girl feel special." She said smelling the sweet scented rose.
"So have I impressed my lady?" Andrew said in an old fashioned tone. Mina started to laugh at Andrew's corny attempt to make a joke.
"I will let you know." Mina said smelling the rose again.
Once Ami and Greg's cab driver pulled up to Queen Serena Theatre Greg got out of the cab. He walked to the driver thanking him with money. Once the debt was paid he walked to Ami's side and opened her door.
"Shall we go?" Greg asked, reaching out for Ami's hand. She took it at once and they walked inside the huge old-fashioned building with a beautiful staircase in the middle, which lead to the theatres up stairs.
When they went inside they went to the refreshment stall. This stall had every sweet possibly made in all of Tokyo.
"Wow! What a selection." Ami said stunned, she felt her mouth water as she looked at a double choc fudge brownie on the third bench.
"What would you like to take in?" Greg asked holding her right hand.
"Those brownies look very nice, would you like to share one with me Greg?" He nodded as he stuck his hand into his pocket to get his wallet. Once they had their food they walked up another flight of stairs, which lead them to a beautiful gold hallway with red carpet.
"Ok the ticket says we are in theatre 32." Greg said lifting his eyes from the ticket to see what number they were at.
"Well this one is 29, so we can not be that far off." Ami said moving his arm to around her shoulder. They both blushed immediately.
"Well here it is." Greg said braking the nervous silence.
"Can I please see your ticket sir?" A man at the door asked. Greg did as he was told and showed the man both his and Ami's tickets. After the man stamped their tickets they walked inside the dark theatre. Greg's right hand still around Ami's shoulders making her feel safe and warm inside.
Serena was quiet in Darien's car this time. She did not nag him about where they were going, or if the blindfold could be taken off. This time she liked not knowing where she was going. She felt so lucky that she was given another shot with Darien, he is such a great guy.
"Ok we are here." Darien said reaching over to Serena and pulling her blindfold off.
Serena gasped as she finally recognized her surroundings. They were at Tokyo's Opera House.
"Wow Darien I have never been to the opera before." Serena said feeling excited.
"Yes well we better get you changed into that dress so we can go inside." Darien said walking her to the restaurant next door.
Again when Serena walked out of the toilets Darien looked at her stunned.
"I am loving this power over you." Serena said walking over to him giving him a wink.
"Lets get you to the opera shall we?" Darien said trying to snap out of his dazed look. Serena just laughed at his attempt.
Once they were inside Darien directed Serena to the front desk.
"A reservation for Darien Shields." Darien said in a very proper voice. The woman at the desk looked his reservation up then nodded.
"Yes, two seats on the balcony has been reserved for you Mr. Shields."
"The balcony!" Serena said in a loud whisper once they had left the front desk. She was trying not to sound so loud but was failing miserably.
"Yes I want our first date to be a very special one, now come little one we must get some binoculars " Darien said walking behind Serena putting his hands around her waist.
"This way."
Once they were in, their very on balcony, they sat down in the two chairs waiting for them.
"Oh Darien I am so excited about this." Serena said grabbing hold of his hand, showing him all her appreciation from her eyes.
"I am glad." He said giving her a soft kiss on the lips.
"Now shh it is about to start." He said letting out a smile while squeezing her hand.
"Oh my god Greg! That film was incredible." Ami said feeling more comfortable having Greg so close to her.
"Yes I must say even I found it very interesting." Greg said. Ami poked his stomach.
"I knew you would. Science is not always boring you know, no matter what Serena says." Ami said giggling. Greg joined her.
"Would you like to go for an ice-cream?" Greg asked admiring Ami's smooth face. She blushed once more. She just wasn't used to men admiring her as much as Greg has been doing tonight. But she didn't hate it.
"I would love to but I am just too full from the brownie." Ami said regretfully.
"Ok well I better walk you back to your dorm then." Greg said sounding a little disappointed. Ami nodded, she moved closer to him once they were outside. It had grown very cold outside and Ami felt warm being close to Greg. They walked slowly back to the dorm both not wanting the beautiful night to end.
Though as the saying goes 'all good things must come to an end,' so too did their date. They were about five metres from Ami's dorm room.
"Well Greg I thoroughly enjoyed tonight. " Ami said feeling butterflies form in her stomach.
"Yes me too." Greg said staring at Ami. A few minutes had gone by before one of them spoke.
"Well I better let you go." Greg said taking Ami's hand within his own. He kissed it slowly, then looked back up to Ami. She didn't want him to go, it was written all over her face but if she told him to stay what would happen? She wasn't ready for that answer. So she walked closer to him and gave him a passionate kiss goodbye before heading inside her dorm. She let out a sigh.
'I am falling too hard too fast.'
"Well, shall we order?" Andrew laughed as he realized what the time was. They had been talking for a whole hour and still hadn't ordered.
"Oh yes that would be a good idea. I mean they are probably closing the kitchen soon." Mina said joining the laughter.
She couldn't believe how much they had in common. Mina also couldn't believe how good it felt just being herself. She was not trying to act like anyone else to try and impress him, yet still had captured his interest.
"I will have the chicken ravioli with extra cheese and a glass of diet coke thanks." Mina said handing the tired waiter her menu. Andrew starred at Mina in disbelief.
"I will have the same except normal coke thanks." He said handing the menu to the waiter. Once the waiter had gone Andrew spoke.
"I can't believe it! You ordered my favorite meal from here except I have normal coke. See how much we have in common?" Andrew said still trying to capture Mina's affections. She laughed at this statement.
"Are you still trying to win my heart Mr. Furuhata?" Mina said laughing midway.
"Is it working?" Andrew said leaning over the table to be closer to Mina. She smiled and blushed at the same time.
"Maybe." She said looking away from him. Andrew didn't understand why it was taking so long to sweep her off her feet.
'I mean she isn't heavy.' He joked to himself trying to hide a smile.
"Well I guess I just have to try harder shall I? But anyway what's your favorite colour?" He said braking the silence. Mina laughed at his attempt.
"It's orange." She said. After Mina spoke their dishes arrived.
"Thank you." They both said together, making Mina blush.
Once they finished their meals they talked for at least another whole hour. Once this hour was up Mina grabbed her bag to get some money out.
"What are you doing?" Andrew said trying to stop her.
"Paying for my meal." Mina said beginning to roam around her bag again.
"No you're not. I am paying for this. It is like a date right? " He said trying to win her again. She couldn't help but laugh he was so funny, and all his attempts were making her even more found of him.
"Right." She smiled giving in.
"About time you realized that." He said jokingly putting a frustrated look on his face. Mina laughed again.
"I like to see you laugh." Andrew said admiring Mina's face and cheeks, which were beginning to redden.
"Well I like you making me laugh." Mina admitted. Andrew grabbed Mina's hands and rested them on the table. They began to stare at each other but not an uncomfortable stare.
"Excuse me, I am terribly sorry but we are closing in half an hour… " The waiter began.
"Yes that is fine, we will be finished in a moment." Andrew said before the waiter finished.
After another twenty minutes, Mina and Andrew decided to leave the restaurant.
"Oh wow Darien! The opera house is now one of my favorite places to go!" Serena said as they walked out of the opera house.
"Yes I have always liked it." Darien smiled placing an arm around Serena, trying to keep her warm in the freezing night. They quickly walked to Darien's car to limit the time they spent in the cold atmosphere. After about twenty minutes they reached Serena's dorm room.
"I am so happy Darien. Thank you so much for tonight it was so beautiful"
"You are welcome Serena. I really enjoyed it too." After staring at each other for about a minute Serena leaned into Darien and they shared a soft kiss, before pulling apart.
"I better go before I change my mind about taking this slow." Darien said taking his hungry eyes off Serena's face. Serena just laughed at his comment and kissed him goodbye.
Unknown to Serena or Darien, someone was watching them from afar…..
